Muscle-Relaxing Injections - Smoothing Wrinkles
Description
Muscle-relaxing injections can help to smooth the skin reducing fine lines and wrinkles..
The areas that can be treated include
- Frown Lines: These lines are also often known as glabella lines or number 11’s. They are the creases that sit between the eyebrows.
- Crows Feet:These lines are around the eyes and are often also known as laughter lines.
- Forehead Lines:These lines are the horizontal lines across the forehead caused by the contraction of the frontalis muscle
- Gummy Smile:This is where some people have more gum showing in there smile than others. In many the upper lip sits just above the top of the teeth but in some more gum shows.
- Excessive sweating/Hyperhydrosis:This is severe sweating that can interfere with daily activities. It is estimated that about 5% of the population suffers with this symptom
HOW IT WORKS:
Muscle-relaxing injections use botulinum toxin to smooth out wrinkles. Delivery of the botulinum treatment temporarily relaxes the muscle, giving a smoother, fresher, brighter and more relaxed appearance. It is an ideal treatment for frown lines but can be used for many other areas of the face and neck. Dynamic wrinkles are those that appear when you frown, smile or laugh; of course, we all want to retain some of this whilst we are smiling and laughing, but most of us would like to minimise those wrinkles that remain set after we have finished expressing ourselves. Every patient has a different ideal end result, from those wanting a little softening… to those wanting more significant relaxation of the lines. In the right hands you will have the right results. Dr Mariska has achieved outstanding results. The areas that can be treated include frown and forehead lines and crow’s feet. In addition, injections can be strategically placed to create a brow lift and can improve a gummy smile. Aside from aesthetic applications botulinum injections can treat excessive sweating in the under-arm area with outstanding results.
